Eurostar Services Suspended Again Over Fire

Eurostar services were stopped for a short time on Monday due to fire next to the track, as the train operator struggled to get back to normal after a weekend of disruptions.

A blaze close to the tracks in a Paris suburb forced firefighters to close the line, stopping all trains travelling into Paris' Gare Du Nord.

Services resumed after the fire was brought on control and passengers were allowed to board services for London.

Eurostar and Eurotunnel (Paris: FR0010533075 - news) , which operates car transport and freight services, had hoped things would get back to normal on Monday after some final repairs on damage done in the north tunnel over the weekend.
